30" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(For gas venturi models with electric ignition)
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and
supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and
range has been connected to electric power.
Check Surface Burners
To check for proper lighting, push in and turn a surface burner knob
to the LITE position. Each burner should light within four (4)
seconds in normal operation. Once the burner lights, the knob
should be rotated out of the LITE position. Try each knob
separately
until all burner valves have been checked.

Air adjustment
The air shutter (adjustment) for each of the four top burners is
located at the open end of the venturi tube and sets on the hood
of the valve.
Should the air shutter need adjusting, rotate the air shutter to allow
more or less air into the burner tubes as needed.
If the air is properly adjusted, the flame will be steady, relatively
quiet, and have approximately 1/2" sharp blue cone. (Usually
about the center of air shutter's ajustment.)
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size. If
the flame is a distinct blue, but lifting away from the burner, reduce
the air shutter opening size.
8. Oven Burner Adjustments
Operation of electric igniters should be checked after range and
supply line connectors have been carefully checked for leaks and
range has been connected to electric power.
The oven burner is equipped with an electric control system as
well as an electric oven burner igniter.
These control systems require no adjustment. When the oven is
set to operate, current will flow to the igniter. It will "glow" similar
to a light bulb. When the igniter has reached a temperature
sufficient to ignite gas, the electrically controlled oven valve will
open and flame will appear at the oven burner. There is a time
lapse from 30 to 60 seconds after the thermostat is turned ON
before the flame appears at the oven burner. When the oven
reaches the dial setting, the glowing igniter will go off. The burner
flame will go "out" in 20 to 30 seconds after the igniter goes "OFF."
To maintain any given oven temperature, this cycle will continue
as long as the dial (or display) is set to operate.
After removing all packing materials and literature from the oven:
a)
Set oven to BAKE at 300ºF. See Owner's Guide for operating
instructions.
b)
Within 60 seconds the oven burner should ignite. Check for
proper flame, and allow the burner to cycle once. Reset
controls to off.
c)
Within 60 seconds the broil burner should ignite. Check for
proper flame. Reset controls to off.

Air Shutter-Oven Burner
The approximate flame length of the oven burner is 1 inch
(distinct inner, blue flame).
To determine if the oven burner flame is proper, remove the
oven bottom and burner baffle and set the oven to bake at
300°F.
To remove the oven bottom, remove oven hold down screws at
rear of oven bottom. Pull up at rear, disengage front of oven
bottom from oven front frame, and pull the oven bottom out of
the oven. Remove burner baffle so that the burner flame can be
observe.
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air shutter opening size.
If the flame is a distinct blue, reduce the air shutter opening
size.
To adjust loosen lock screw, reposition air shutter, and tighten
lock screw. Replace oven bottom.
10. Make Sure Range is Level.
Level the range by placing a level horizontally on an oven rack.
Check diagonally from front to back, then level the range by
either adjusting the leveling legs or by placing shims under the
corners of the range as needed.
11. After installation is complete, make sure all controls are
left in the OFF position.
